Picasso. Endlessly Drawing
To mark the 50th anniversary of Pablo Picasso's death (1881-1973), Centre Pompidou in collaboration with Musée National Picasso–Paris is showcasing his most prolific medium of creation: drawing. It allowed constantly renewed invention, from the artist’s studies in his youth through to his final works.
The exhibition features nearly a thousand pieces – sketchbooks, drawings and engravings –, with well-known masterpieces alongside sketches presented for the first time, and offers a peek into a sort of private, compulsively kept diary.
